    Hi all.
    I have broadband. My nephew lives up the road and doesn't have a phone line at the moment so he can't get it. I am sending mine to him via radio.
    All is working well but the line is insecure.
    I have a Thompson router on my desk.
    This is cabled to a D-Link DWL 900AP+ in the loft.
    This is connected to a antenna on my chimney.
    This points to a airBridge Total that is on my nephews chimney.
    This is cabled to a wireless router.
    This is cabled to his computer.

    I was given the DWL and the airBridge ready configured from a previous insecure setup.
    I need to reset both to factory settings and start again as I don't know the ip of both of them to get in and put WEP encryption on.
    First, is there a way to find the ip of both the DWL and airBridge so I don't need to reset?
    If not, does anyone know if this will be a simple matter of resetting both, using the default ip's and then just entering the same channel, ssid, etc etc.
    I don't want to reset one or the other if I can't reconfigure them.
    I know it's a bit confusing but someone may understand. :confused

    Here's the default IP for the DWL-900AP+

    DWL-900AP+ 192.168.0.50 User name -admin Password - blank

    Support Link

    airBridge Total Support Link - You need to know the model to go further in. You should find the information you need there.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for trying Ibmest.
    I have the details for each ap, I was hoping that someone could step me through it.
    smartBridge don't support my airBridge any more, i've e-mailed them for help, no answer, they've had the cash, they are no longer interested.
    I've managed to config the airBridge but the D-Link ap is acting strange, I think it is dying!
    I shall try again.
    Cheers

    Just a quick heads-up.
    If you can get WPA2 on the APs, then that is a lot more secure than WEP. WEP can now easily be hacked.
